Winky is off in the mountains on a bike ride. Kadizzle sits alone reading the NYT. Charles Blow has a good article you should check out. We are walking on thing ice with Trump the cold water underneath. If Trump and his gang reemerge we are toast.
Kadizzle has been drawn into the Netflix show Peaky Blinders. The show features a gypsy gang in England that became powerful in British politics. Like a lot of these productions it touches on the real politics of the time. Much of the epic evolves around bootlegging.
A character in the saga is a man named Nelson. The man seems to be a stand in for President Kennedy's father. If the portrayal is correct, Kennedy was the product of a gangster. The connection between organized crime and goverment has always been strong. Trump is nothing but mafia through and through. Last night CNN ran a review of Watergate. Nixon was just a crook and a crime boss. Look at Putin, if he is not mafia there is no such thing.
Now back to history for a little review. J. Edgar Hoover used to love the race track. When Hoover went to the track to bet, the organized crime people would give Hoover his money back if his horse lost. Does it get any better. Of course Hoover said there was no such thing as organized crime.
Kadizzle grew up in a town thick with organized crime. The religious, the criminals, and the government were all thickly intertwined. The criminals supported the churches, they always have. Don't want those priest interfering with crime. Who elected Trump. It was the religious. What more do you need to know?
